With membership declining in both the NBSRT and the MARTA Branch, in no small part to the current isolation caused by the pandemic, our President, Bob Fitzpatrick, is urging our members to encourage non-NBSRT retirees to join the NBSRT. As Bob has noted, only about 50% of our former NBTA colleagues are presently NBSRT members. The more members we have, the more credibility we have when discussing major issues such as Insurance and Pension. It is for this reason that new NBSRT members, and present members who sponsor them, will be eligible to win $50 in monthly draws that will begin taking place in March.  Members can visit the NBSRT website for further details at https://nbsrt.org

We would encourage you to visit both the MARTA website (marta-group.com) and the NBSRT website on a regular basis to keep informed about upcoming events. We also encourage MARTA members to keep their contact information up to date, which can be done on the provincial NBSRT website, or to notify Andy Clark via email at: 007.clarkanl@gmail.com or telephone: 506-424-1725.
